EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Afrique Orientale; Le Nord-Est Africain" from the 1914 issue of "Grande Geographie Illustree," provides a fascinating glimpse into the geographical understanding of East Africa during the early 20th century. The map meticulously depicts the African continent's northeastern region, highlighting various countries, colonies, and geographical features. The map reveals the British and Italian territorial claims in the region, with the British Empire dominating the eastern coastline from Kenya and Uganda, including Lake Victoria and the Victoria Nyanza, to Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Italy, on the other hand, holds Sudan and Somalia, with Somaliland and Italian Somaliland marked distinctly. The map's vibrant colors and intricate engraving showcase the Red Sea, the Horn of Africa, and various other essential bodies of water. The cartographical details are a testament to the extensive exploration and mapping efforts during this era, providing valuable insights into the geographical knowledge of the time. The map's title, "Afrique Orientale; Le Nord-Est Africain," translates to "East Africa; Northeastern Africa," reflecting the focus on this specific region. The map serves as an essential historical document, offering a unique perspective on the political and geographical landscape of Africa during the 1910s, a time when European powers were actively expanding their colonial empires.
